Soaking strawberries in vodka for at least 1 hour will infuse the fruit with vodka flavor. You can then use the berries as a topping for ice cream, as a filling for pies, or freeze them and add them to adult smoothies. Choose strawberries that are fresh, ripe and in season for the best flavor.

    This will allow them to soak up more of the vodka.

    Save the vodka bottle and lid if you want to use the strawberry-infused vodka later on.

    If you’re not sure how strong you want the strawberries, taste one after a few hours and see if you want to continue the soaking process.

    Pour the vodka through a coffee filter into a clean container like the original vodka bottle if you would like to preserve it for another use. Using a strainer will make this process easier. Straining the vodka through the coffee filter will remove any strawberry seeds or other debris from the fruit. [2]
